  “Some cards you’re dealt. Others, you find.” 
  Jack Bardlow, Jr. doesn’t talk about what happened—not the burns, not the betrayals, and definitely not the fire that nearly ended everything. But when a mysterious woman offers him a drink and a listening ear, memories he’s buried deep come clawing to the surface. 
  In a hidden bar far from prying eyes, two cards sit between him and the past: the Ten of Diamonds and the Four of Clubs—keys to a puzzle he never knew he was part of. But it’s the card he didn’t expect, the Three of Spades, that starts the clock ticking again. 
  As old scars throb and new dangers emerge, Jack is drawn deeper into the Solitaire underworld. Every choice is a gamble. Every face hides an agenda. And the woman in red? She may not be who she seems. 
  The Three of Spades is a gritty, emotional chapter in The Solitaire Series, filled with buried secrets, brutal flashbacks, and the first flash of hope Jack’s had in a long, long time.

  A shattered teacup. A tragic poisoning in the dead of night. And a country estate full of suspects with everything to gain. 
  In the quiet, picturesque bounds of Styles Court, the wealthy Mrs. Emily Inglethorp has been murdered in her bed. With doors locked from the inside and a grieving family pointing fingers, the local authorities are completely baffled. Enter Captain Hastings, a wounded war veteran seeking a peaceful retreat, who quickly finds himself thrust into the heart of a deadly conspiracy. Fortunately, Hastings knows a man with a genius for unraveling the impossible: an eccentric Belgian refugee named Hercule Poirot. 
  As Poirot begins to exercise his 'little grey cells,' the idyllic manor reveals a dark underbelly of forged wills, secret romances, and bitter rivalries. Everyone has a motive, from the enigmatic new husband to the desperate stepsons.

Filled with brilliant red herrings, cozy British manor house tropes, and classic amateur sleuth suspense, it offers a deeply satisfying whodunit experience for fans of golden age crime fiction and traditional police procedurals.

Holmes quickly solves the mystery, locating Hatty at a hotel with a mysterious, "common-looking" man who had picked up her dropped bouquet after the ceremony. The man turns out to be Hatty's husband Frank, whom she had thought dead in America, and who had managed to locate her only moments before she was to marry Lord St. Simon. Frank and Hatty had just determined to go to Lord St. Simon in order to explain the situation when Holmes found them.

  After a ‘fixed marriage’ breaks, a custody battle rages between pastors for God’s children. But was the divorce itself ‘in the best interest of the child?’ It’s another ‘street fight on a chessboard’ with The Jury Whisperer and the courtroom war king defending the controversial leader of Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing. 
  ‘All rise’ as temptation itself judges how a Bible Trivia event escalated to physical fights, subliminal threats, lamb-pranks, and even a spiritual restraining order! Will wisdom itself object to public opinion? And will a new parable ‘break the spell’ of an invisible bondage? It’s a whodunit range of Christian Hart, Farah Seas, Nico, Alpha, Smart Alec, Goody Two-Shoes, a ‘fashion police’ judge, and many more.

  Horne Fisher is extremely well connected. The plans of prime ministers, foreign ambassadors, and chancellors are matters of table conversation - usually because these people are dining with him. And when a man so well connected is also a brilliant detective, all sinister motives and plots systematically unfold.
  
  Whether it is a case of police corruption, or a war with Sweden, Horne Fisher can always solve it. But Horne Fisher is also a philosopher, and not a policeman, and the murderer is seldom punished. G. K. Chesterton, author of the Father Brown stories, here introduces another detective outside the realm of conventional law enforcement.
  
  The Man Who Knew Too Much contains eight stories full of mystery and adventure, with a fair share of food for thought.
